(HER)STORY
One of the most beloved champions in Breeders’ Cup history, Zenyatta became the first female to win the Breeders’ Cup Classic and the first horse ever to win two different Breeders’ Cup races.
In arguably the greatest moment in Breeders’ Cup history, she came from last to first down the Santa Anita stretch to win the race over Gio Ponti by one length. She was named one of the top 10 female athletes of the year by Sports Illustrated.
After a brief retirement, Zenyatta returned to racing in 2010, running her streak to 19 consecutive wins before a gallant loss in the Breeders’ Cup Classic to Blame by a nose at Churchill Downs. That outstanding effort still propelled her to the Horse of the Year title.
